These are pink and white (2nd) Kalmia latifolia, commonly called mountain laurel. The flowers look like parasols and the buds (3rd and 4th photos) like konpeito, i.e., tiny star-shaped Japanese sugar candies, which are Pokémon Nebby's favorite food😜!
Konpeito was imported from Portugal to Japan in the 16th century together with the name "confeito" in Portuguese, meaning sugar candy. If you haven't seen the candy, click here (Wikipedia). See? The buds of mountain laurel look exactly like konpeito, don't they?

亜米利加石楠花（アメリカシャクナゲ）またの名をカルミアです。最初、金平糖みたいな蕾に驚いていたら、こんなに可愛い日傘のような花に変身😲😊！
金平糖はポケモンのほしぐもちゃんの好物なんだそうですね。カルミアについて調べて初めて知りました。
